Or You Could Go Full Cronenberg

“Nullification” = “gender affirming”. Okay then.

“Nullification” = “gender affirming”. Okay then.
We are, it seems, in strange territory. Given the baroque mutilations on offer, the word affirmation doesn’t quite sit. According to another company, Align Surgical Associates, the procedures on offer will enable patients “to enjoy a body that looks closer on the outside to the way they feel on the inside.” However, given the photos of said procedures and the consequent limitations in functionality, and any number of health issues caused by such surgeries, the word enjoy also seems somewhat inapt.

Cronenberg?
As in David Cronenberg, a director of largely low-budget ‘body horror’ films, i.e., films in which the horror derives from grotesque transformations and violations of human anatomy. See, The Fly, Rabid, Shivers, etc. Most of his films are pretty awful, by which I mean boring and badly made.

I remember being entertained as a youth by his remake of The Fly, but I watched Scanners again recently, which I first saw when I was at school, and, dear God, it’s ham-fisted and boring.

Injecting testosterone and getting a double mastectomy did not make me a man. It made me a woman who was injecting testosterone and who got a double mastectomy.

For those who missed it, somewhat related.

However, needless to say, search at your peril.
Not today Satan. Not today.

Thanks. Will avoid.
No, don’t do that. Just exercise some discretion.
My personal favourites: Videodrome, eXistenZ, The Dead Zone (How could you not appreciate The Dead Zone?)

I thought you meant ‘Kronenbourg 1664’ lager. I bought a bottle from you once and swear that 1664 was the drink by date. A request for my money back was greeted with coarse mockery and vulgar abuse. And as for asking for credit!

Just exercise some discretion.
I’m not sure I’d say The Dead Zone is exactly a pinnacle of cinema, though I recall it as less dreary than many of his others. I think The Fly is probably the nearest to a polished, dramatically engaging film, though I’d have to watch it again, which I’m in no rush to do. Certainly isn’t Naked Lunch.

FGM is not OK because it’s done by men. Or by women for men. Or by women, at the instigation of women, which might conceivably in some way be in the interests of men. Or by women, on women, for women, in the long traditions of women, but as part of the rituals of societies which contain men. Even when everyone involved, including the patient, approves and affirms the process.
Genital “nullification” on the other hand must be celebrated because it’s done with the approval and affirmation of the patient. Irrespective of the disapproval of anyone or everyone else, even though it might be against the deep traditions and rituals of their society. And medically dubious. Or dangerous. Providing it involves a conceptual woman at some stage of the process. A man becoming a woman is to be celebrated. A woman becoming a man is unfortunate, but it is the woman’s choice. A man becoming another man, though, is right out. Unless it makes him gay. Which is fine. Though conversion therapy is a myth. And evil. And doesn’t exist. Except when it’s converting a man to a woman who likes men.
I hope that clears it up for you.

What are those sewn-up salamis for?

It’s too perilous.

Are you not aroused?

I recall watching Videodrome again. And again. And again. Well, parts of it anyway.

Are you not aroused?
Only my gorge is rising.

Are you not aroused?
Deroused.

The women who don’t like cock have been stepped on pretty hard for awhile now
No no – that’s because they don’t like lady cock. Not liking man cock is still acceptable. If you’re a woman. Not if you’re a man though, because that’s homophobic. Except if it’s lady cock. Then you’re trans-phobic. Or can-you-tell-what-it-is-yet-phobic.
Basically, if you look at the creatures of tiktok and go “ewwww” then you’re just plain evil.
Also I call band name!

Remember when buggering was a simple act? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Look to clear up any remaining confusion I’ve made a simple graphic representation of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Genital Needs for you:

Man vulvas can fuck lady vulvas.
Lady vulvas can fuck each other, children and livestock.
Man cocks can’t touch anybody except each other.
And lady cocks get to fuck anything.

A man who allegedly was trying to shoplift from a Huntington Beach business was tackled to the ground Saturday, officials said.
At around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Huntington Beach police responded to the call of an attempted shoplifter at Jack’s Surfboards located at 101 Main Street.
Video footage caught the moment that security guards and shoppers grabbed the man and tackled him to the ground.
The suspected shoplifter was taken into custody, Huntington Beach police said.
No further details were available.

Swap the “g” for an “e” and we might be closer to the truth.
Even better: keep ‘Align’ and prefix an M.

Not to be invidious, but it seems likely if the suspect were less melanin-deficient the reportage would have been somewhat different.

Definitely a PoS*.

MoZaic Care, a cosmetic surgery provider in San Francisco, California, offers a “nullification” procedure that “removes external genitalia while preserving a urethral opening and anal opening.”
Once again, California leads the way!

one of those ear taggy things

I’ve installed those ear taggy things into a cow’s ear. A hollow tube with an internal diameter of ~1/2 inch (~1cm) with a rather sharp and angled end is that tool that you’d use. It also has a slot to hold the tag.
You’ve got the cow in a head gate. Insert tag into slot, grab the cow’s ear, shove it through, and pull it back. Tag stays in. Slather cow’s ear with an iodine solution and let it go.
Converting young bovine males to steers was less deadly than what was done to a human male to be a Chinese court eunuch (we didn’t use blades, so our calves didn’t bleed out), but not less pleasant to the above.

Typical, Martin Luther, never around when you need him.
Nailed it…

I hope that clears it up for you.
Thanks Karl!

Thanks Karl!
Just doing my job, ma’am.
It’s a great way to rot and demoralise a society
Yeah, but it’s a good racism.

The Moriori would likely disagree – most are not around though.

Meanwhile, back on the original topic, we find an interesting hypothesis, and please update your files.

back on the original topic, we find an interesting hypothesis,

Trans women are more feminine than cis women, we went through a journey to discover we’re actually female instead of just living like it beforehand. That’s pretty cool if you ask me.

Judging by the seemingly obligatory anime avatars and the general preoccupation with childish kitsch, and the images and clothing of adolescent girls in particular, I’d say this grown man isn’t entirely sure what a woman is.

I’d say this grown man isn’t entirely sure what a woman is.
Indeed. The strong tendency of transvestites and transsexuals to exhibit a cartoonish caricature of what actual women are like has been clear for a long time.

You can make a good case that being nice to our enemies is what got us in this mess.
Damn near word for word what I was going to say.
One can’t completely avoid the woke bastards without going off the grid and living on weasels you trap and berries you forage.
While true in many respects I will still make the effort. Recently read a book about the men who flew The Hump to get weapons and supplies to Chang Kai Sheik, the worthless warlord bastard who did the least he could possibly do to fight the Japanese yet still keep the manna flowing. Many of those men risking their lives to get it to him knew or suspected as much. But they still put their lives on the line to do it. A widow of one of those men remarried a friend of my father. They attended our church. A very sharp woman well into her 80’s but still was able to relate the story of her husband being rescued by “friendly” cannibal tribesmen. If those men were still willing to take on that hopeless cause, I can make the effort to search through the numerous dog leashes in the pet store to find a few that were not made in China. I will also ask, when appropriate, “Do you have anything like this that wasn’t made in China?” Same applies to razor blades, etc. and wokeism. And all the major league sports can go f themselves. I will watch local high school or little league talent. I still do watch Golf and limited Olympic coverage. I don’t mind the occasional fuzzy political reference but the full on wokeism is right out.

Sexual dysmorphia is a coping mechanism for childhood/adolescent sexual trauma; the most common symptom of the resulting Complex PTSD is retarded emotional development where the victim remains a child/adolescent, psychologically. QED.

Seriously, what kind of balls do you need to make that sort of claim out loud?
LOL
But it’s obviously the typical overly-confident smug pose that typifies the new religionists, from feminists to Chinese propagandists to the flavor-of-the-month trannies, no? The entire concept of transgenderism is simply taking “fake it till you make it” to an extreme.
It’s what happens to all the pets of the left: one’s compassion for people and their personal issues is necessarily abrogated in the face of tyrannical diktats in their name.

While true in many respects I will still make the effort…. I don’t mind the occasional fuzzy political reference but the full on wokeism is right out.
We are generally in violent agreement. I recently needed new tires for a utility trailer only to find out the only ones available anywhere in the wheel size were Goodyear. Made in China (meanwhile though we revile the French, the Michelins on the truck I tow the trailer are made in Alabama), so I went up two inches in wheel diameter and got some Korean ones, because there were no US made ones.
Anything electronic – you have to work to find something made in Taiwan vs. mainland Taiwan, let alone anywhere else – I’ll get a Blaupunkt (made in China).
Netflix goes woke and hires the Obamas – poof, gone, I’ll watch Vudu instead. Of course it is owned by Walmart. Triggered.
Gillette, owned by Proctor and Gamble, so do we boycott just Gillette, or all of P&G ? OK I prefer Japanese razor blades anyway because they are actually sharp so NBD, but oops, I have a Braun electric too, and they are owned by P&G.
All the mutinationals are intertwined and shuffle brands back and forth, so the question is now how much time you want to invest investigating who owns what to know what to avoid. Obvious (Netflix) is obvious, but dollar store house brand isn’t always as good, and there comes a point where the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

“Trans women are more feminine than cis women, we went through a journey to discover we’re actually female instead of just living like it beforehand”.
By that logic, Rachel Dolezal is more authentically black than black people, because she went through a journey to discover she was actually black, instead of just living it beforehand.

I write about the science of performance.
Er, OK?
Fortunately for face nappy enthusiasts this sciencey demonstration of the ineffectiveness of face masks has been thoroughly debunked by other similarly performative writers. Just because those face masks didn’t work, doesn’t mean that your military grade, freshly laundered, double-layered, custom-fitted, hermetically sealed complete head covering won’t.

Trans women are more feminine than cis women
I like to imagine some embittered “2nd-wave” feminist casually reading twitter while feeding her cats, looking wistfully at her shelf. There her Dworkin anthology and framed photos of old bra-burning parties remind her of the time she was in charge, when she joined arms with her sisters to fight those men who insisted on defining femininity.
“We were such beautiful fish in a sea of bicycles,” she recounts as she polishes her signed I’m With Her campaign poster for what felt like the millionth time. Her hands tremble as she holds back the reflexive vitriol towards men who talk down to women, and she reminds herself that men can be women now, and thus are free to do things that would’ve set her on the warpath a few short years ago.
“We’ve come a long way,” she mutters like a nun performing the rosary, “but there’s still so much work to do.” She repeats the words over and over, the triumph and sense of importance that the mantra normally provides not sufficient to drown out a strange nagging sensation at the back of her mind. “Trans-women ARE women, and I am their ally!” she posts on Facebook, but this too does not quiet the voice in her head – that stubborn internalized misogyny placed their by the wicked Patriarchy.
The voice that, if she allowed, would loudly proclaim: “A man is telling you how to woman, and your feminism requires you to shut up and agree.”

Trans women are more feminine than cis women
I don’t know. Looks all natural to me in a Kardashian kind of way.

By the way gents, she’s had the surgery and she’s desperate to lose her “virginity”.

That nose looks all wrong – maybe it’s something in the photo, but when I first saw it I thought it was a skull opening.

For “real”. International TV (although TS is more appropriate) personality Jessica Alves dontcha know. She was, perhaps, better known as the human Ken doll.

I was confused for a moment, because her first sentence seemed so self-evident. But then, that second sentence. Whoa! I suppose she just has a far better understanding of men than she does of woman. Nothing else makes sense.
